Default Fat Boy

I'm from the Touring section,but yesterday I was in the dealer and I was looking at a Midnight Pearl/Brilliant silver Fat Boy.Man that was a nice looking bike,what a great canidate for a 120R.I can't get it out of my mind.I guess I'll need to double up on the lottery tickets.

Are there any pics here of this color combo with bags and a windshield?

I'd go with the Deluxe. IMHO that fat rear fender on the Fatboy is hideous & totally out of proportion with the rest of the bike.

The solid wheels and that "humpback" rear fender is what drew me to the Fatboy when it came out; and I still love both (even though they have both been slightly modified from the original).

Also just MHO.

Not sure, but thinking the 120 is not a balanced motor.
Thinking that with the solid mount frame, that motor could shake to much.

on the 120R.. I was told by my dealer, just in conversation, that the motor doesn't come with a warranty even if the dealer installs it, so if something goes wrong with it, you're S.O.L.. whether that's true or not, i don't know, that's just what they told me.

Love mine... if and when I decide to go all the way bigger it would likely be the 120R. Should be a badass ride.

Same here! For me, even stock, this was the only H-D I wanted. I have since learned to appreciate most models with one (newer) exception. The two tone colors seem a more nostalgic theme to me but they do look sweet.
